Sending Yuan Er to Anxi

Author: Wang Wei

It is moist with rain, and the willows are green.

I advise you to drink a cup of wine, and leave the Yangguan Pass in the west without an old friend.

All Notes

1. Yuan Er, name unknown. Anxi, Tang Dynasty, set up the Anxi Prefecture, the seat in the present-day Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Kuqa County.

2. Weicheng, set up in Xianyang County in Qin Dynasty, renamed Weicheng County in Han Dynasty (Han Shu - Geography Zhi), and belonged to the precincts of Xianyang County of Jingzhao Prefecture in Tang Dynasty, in the northeast of present-day Xianyang City of Shaanxi Province. Yi: moist.

3. Yangguan: the former site is in the southwest of Dunhuang County in present-day Gansu Province. Yuanhe County Records, because it is in the south of Yumen, so it is called Yangguan.

This poem is also entitled "Farewell", "Wei Cheng Qu", "Yang Guan Qu", "Yang Guan San Yi". It was composed around before the An Shi Rebellion. It is a masterpiece of ancient farewell poems. In the first two lines of the poem, the poem starts off with a rising, and in the early morning scenery, the color of green willow is singled out, which is a common image used in literary works to express the feeling of farewell since "Poetry - Xiao Ya - Cai Wei", "I used to go back to the old days, and the willows are still clinging to each other". In the following two lines, the complex feelings of farewell, concern, and worry are expressed in the act of "persuading wine". The first line says that the place where my friend went is unfamiliar, and the second line says that there are few people there; the third line says that it is hard to find a close friend once you and I have parted ways. In this way, the cherishing of friendship, the helplessness of parting, the concern for friends, all contained in the cup. The so-called "parting intention is long and not show", the sentiment is true and sincere but not to say it is also. Ming Li Dongyang, "Fo Tang Poetry" cloud: "Poetry can not be intended to favor rhetoric, but must be rhetoric to reach the meaning. If the words can reach the meaning and can be sung and chanted, then they can be passed on. Wang Mochizuki's line 'There is no old man at the Yangguan Pass' was never said before the Tang Dynasty. Once this phrase was released, it was not enough to be recited for a while, and it was sung as a triple song. After the person who chanted about parting, a thousand words, can not be out of its meaning. It must be so before it can be called the ear."

This is a poem to send a friend to the northwest frontier. Anxi, is the Tang central government for the jurisdiction of the western region and set up the short name of the Anxi Duguanfu, the seat in the city of Guzi (present-day Xinjiang Kuqa). The friend surnamed Yuan was on a mission from the imperial court to Anxi. In the Tang Dynasty, those who went west from Chang'an were sent off in Weicheng. Weicheng, the former city of Xianyang, the capital of Qin, was northwest of Chang'an, on the north bank of the Weishui River.

The first two lines are about the time, place and atmosphere of the farewell. Early in the morning, the guest house in Weicheng, the post road that stretches from east to west without end, the willow trees around the guest house and on both sides of the post road. All these seem to be very commonplace in the foreground, but the scenery is picturesque and the lyrical atmosphere is rich. The "morning rain" plays an important role here. The morning rain did not last long, just moistened the dust and stopped. On the road westward from Chang'an, the vehicles and horses are usually in motion, and the dust is flying, but now the rain stops, the weather is clear, and the road looks clean and fresh. The word "moist" in "Yi Light Dust" means wet, and is used here in a very measured way, showing that the rain clarifies the dust and does not wet the road, which is just right, as if the heavens obeyed the wishes of man, and purposely arranged a light dusty road for those who traveled far. The guest house is the companion of the traveler; the willow is the symbol of parting. The selection of these two things is naturally intended to coincide with the farewell. They are usually associated with the sadness of separation and present a gloomy mood. But today, because of a rain shower, it has a bright and fresh look - "the guest house is green and the willow color is new". Weekday road dust, roadside willow color can not help but covered with gray dust fog, a rain, only to re-wash it that verdant color, so that "new", but also because of the willow color of the new, reflecting the guest house green to. In short, from the clear sky, to the clean road, from the green guest house, to the green willow, constitutes a picture of fresh and clear tone, for this farewell provides a typical natural environment. This is a fond farewell, but not a sad one. On the contrary, it reveals a light and hopeful mood. Words such as "light dust", "green" and "new", with their soft and clear sound, reinforce this feeling in the reader.

The stanzas are strictly limited in length. This poem, on how to set up a farewell banquet, how to frequently raise their glasses at the banquet, attentive to the words of farewell, and how to leave the departure, how to look at the boarding of the journey, and so on, and so on, all discarded, only to cut out the farewell banquet is about to end the host's exhortation: dry this glass, out of the Yangguan, but will never see old friends again. The poet is like a skillful photographer, taking the most expressive shots. The banquet has been going on for a long time, the wine brewed with farewell feelings has been drunk for many rounds, the words of earnest farewell have been repeated many times, the time for friends to go on the road finally can't help but come, the host and the guest's feelings of farewell have reached the peak in this moment. The master of this seemingly out of the mouth of the exhortation to drink is this moment of strong, sincere feelings of farewell to the concentration of expression.

The third and fourth sentences are a whole. In order to y understand the deep feelings contained in this exhortation to drink on the way out, it is impossible not to relate to the "west out of the Yangguan". The Yangguan Pass at the western end of the Hexi Corridor, opposite the Yumen Pass to the north of it, has been the passage from the mainland to the western regions since the Han Dynasty. Tang Dynasty, the country is strong, the mainland and the western region of the frequent exchanges, from the army or out of the Yangguan, in the minds of the Tang people is a desirable feat. But at that time, west of the Yangguan Pass was still a poor and deserted area, and the scenery was very different from that of the mainland. Friends "west out of Yangguan", although it is a feat, but also not inevitably experience 10,000 miles of long-distance trekking, and savor the hardships and loneliness of traveling alone in the wilderness. Therefore, on the occasion of this trip, "I urge you to finish a glass of wine", like a cup of rich emotional syrup soaked with all the poet's rich and sincere friendship. Inside, there is not only a farewell friendship, but also contains the situation of the traveler, the mood of the deep feeling of consideration, contains the road ahead of the earnest wishes. For the sender, persuade each other to "finish a glass of wine", not only to let friends take away more of their own friendship, but also intentionally or unintentionally delay the break-up time, so that the other party to stay a moment more. "West out of the Yangguan no old man" feeling, and why does it only belong to the walker? Farewell, to say a lot of things, but a thousand things, a moment actually do not know where to start. On such occasions, there are often no words relative to the silence, "advise you to finish a glass of wine", is unconsciously break the silence, but also to express the rich and complex feelings of the way at this moment. What the poet has not said is much richer than what has been said. In short, although the three or four lines cut only a moment of the scene, it is an extremely rich moment.

This poem describes a most universal kind of parting. It has no special background, but has its own sincere feelings of regret, which makes it suitable for most of the farewell feast singing, and later compiled into the music, became the most popular and longest-selling songs.
